This has been an interesting topic to follow for several days as I have owned and raced a C&C 30 and now own and race a C&C 36 cb. I bought the 30' new in 1975 and raced her on the upper Chesapeake Bay in the Columbia Sailing Assoc. (CSA). I had a 160 genoa, deck sweeper, and could carry it in breezes up to the high teens. It was a hanked on sail, which was a pain to reduce to the 135. My 36' cb is more tender with a 150 and we need to reef the main or furl in the genoa some (luff tape) when the wind goes in the mid teens. I can still out point the fleet with the 150 and the center board is always up as I race on the Bohemia River which is very shallow.
